only 4 adapters have been paid and transferred through. ATF will rule on it soon. Basically it’s legal RIGHT NOW…later..most likely not. ATF has a precedent on it. Oil filters are not replaceable wipes. In order for it to be legal the filter has to be installed by a manufacturer (02/07) and only able to be taken off by a manufacturer (02/07). Variable length suppressors and variable caliber suppressors don’t work well for the ATF.

Dunno. That’s what industry contacts say. Glock makes a suppressor similar to a used oil filter (sealed with chamber and ablative oil-like substance) and it isn’t legal in the US as its not a wipe.

We are having a big argument over this on my home forum. Alls I knows is, I’m not buying one. Not in a million years.

Last items the ATF ruled were legal then illegal (Akins accelerator 10/22 bump fire and soda bottle adapter) you got refunded the tax stamp from ATF but you were out the money for the item as it was sent to ATF to be destroyed.

That’s part of the issue. We won’t know official data on it compares to an actual 22 can (say silencerco sparrow ss/ spectre/ gemtech alpine) and the fact that it will probably be striked illegal by ATF makes me say no way.

No way in hell id use it on anything stronger than a 22 anyways. I doubt a fram can handle 40 s&w, 45, or any centerfire rifle without going “ballistic” not to mention the back pressure of used motor oil going BACK into my gun.

Crunkles…I think you can simple replace the oil filter. It is just the mounting bracket that you are buying and getting the tax stamp on. Oil Can A wears out, unscrew mounting plate and attach to Oil can B. At least that is how I see it.

That’s how the manufacturer wants you to do it, however in the ATF’s eyes (as a precedent) that is manufacturing a new suppressor. Manufacturers can do that all they want, civilian non manufacturers cannot.

You can buy a functionally identical adapter on Amazon for only $12.00 without any need to register it. The ATF cannot require this adapter to be registered with them or ban it simply because it “could” be used to make a suppressor out of an oil filter. As far as the legality goes… well… the percentage of tactical weapon owners who don’t want the government to know what they have is increasing daily.

Using subsonic ammo(1050fps) works great. Using supersonic ammo(1200fps) hardly tell the difference. Am I missing something, or are you using subsonic ammo in the rifle? Thought I heard one round from the rifle that sounded pretty loud. The question is about the rifle, not the pistol.
